Lee Johnson has praised Lynden Gooch's versatility, and appreciates what he brings to the side...
VERSATILITY
"I really like him as a guy and as a footballer. His versatility speaks for himself and he always does a job for us, always that 7/10."
UNLUCKY
"I think he'll have been disappointed with his goal and assist tally earlier in the season but he'd also been really unlucky, he'd hit the bar a couple of times and players had missed sitters from deliveries that he'd put in. I know those numbers were bugging him."
UNFAIR CRITICISM
"He'd probably taken a bit of unfair criticism given that that he always puts in an honest performance and is a talented player. We've tried to be flexible and adapt our shape to bring out the best in him and I think its shown, he's done a great job offensively and defensively."
PRITCH GOAL
"If you look at Alex Pritchard's goal at Doncaster, I know it was given as an own goal but I'd give it to him, he's astute enough to drive into the backline and cause them a lot of disruption. That's what I think you get with Lynden, you get that spearhead in terms of the movement and the hustle that he gives you."
SHEFF WED
"The first game against Sheffield Wednesday he was quite upset, took a bit of stick, but we managed to talk him round and get him in a positive mindset again."
FITNESS
"He's now fully fit, and he wasn't then. Conditioning is such a key part of any player's form and you see that now with Pritchard, for example, it allows them to go and show what they're capable of in terms of their football ability."
CONTRACT
"As you know I can only make recommendations, it's a different set up to clubs I've worked at before. Obviously you advise, and while we're successful and teams are playing well, players give themselves every opportunity to stay at the club if that's what they want."
